A quick ink pen sketch of La Preghiera, a former monastery, surrounded by green wooded hillsides. This traquil setting has been the refuge of peace and serenity for over a 1000 years and its no wonder. Save for the noise from the occassional hunter or tractor it is a most peaceful location. As it is situated on the old St Francesco trail to Assisi, I wouldn't be surprised if the man himself hadn't called by on his travels.

About this Blog

When the area that you live in is depicted in the background of the Mona Lisa. Where Raphael has written graffitti on one of the local public buildings, Saint Francesco was supposed to have walked passed your house and a pigment is named after the very earth you walk on, you can't help but be creative in Umbria. Why not come and see for yourself.
